I think that every baby is different and has a different learning curve, but in general, you should see her start to lift her head at 3 months old. That's what I've been told anyways. I'm still pregnant now and this is my first child.

It will vary with every child. But around 1, and 2 months old. My daughter started lifting her head up when she was only a couple weeks old. Shes now 2 and half months old and she can hold her head up on her own completley when Im holding her.

If you put your baby on her tummy when she's awake (like on a blanket on the floor), it helps her learn to lift her head sooner. Also, the best guide I've found to when babies do what is "What to Expect the First Year." It has a chapter for each month, with the things that the baby should be able to do, and then more things that the baby may be able to do. It also has info on illness, when to call the doc, basic baby care, etc.

Every baby is different. My daughter could lift her head immediately. She was born by c-section and when they put her sideways on my chest, she lifted her head staight up to look at me. It was so neat! She's now 3 weeks old and has excellent head control.
